males committed 63.7% of all murders‚ while females only committed 7% and 29.3% remain unknown.

(3) Male dominated human societies place the same emphasis on territory as their primate relatives. Alexander the Great and other ancient leaders are examples

Other biochemical evidence‚ demonstrates a very close genetic relationship between human beings and the living African apes‚ particularly the chimpanzee (99% matching genetic makeup). The relationship is apparent at a cellular level‚ sequences of DNA‚ and similarities in proteins. It is believed that our ancestors and those of the gorilla and chimpanzee had a common line for several million years after they were separated from what is believed to be our earliest ancestor - the orang-utan (Birkett

Desert Saguaro Cactus Scientific Name: Carnegiea gigantean Habitat: desert slopes and flats Range: Sonoran Desert Observations: The shape and appearance of the Saguaro Cactus is easily recognizable in countless movies set in the desert. The cactus is a producer‚ using photosynthesis to create its energy needs. Since it doesn’t have leaves‚ its photosynthesis takes place in the top layer of its green stem. The cactus uses a number of adaptations to survive in the dry desert conditions. They

Idiographic versus nomothetic approaches to psychology Nomothetic approach Idiographic approach The approach of investigating large groups of people in order to find general laws of behaviour that apply to everyone Nomos= laws in ancient Greek; this approach assumes that an individual is a complex combination of many universal laws; it is best to study people on a large scale. Quantitative Experimental methods are best to identify the universal laws governing behaviour. The individual
